Re: BA pilots 'prepared to strike'

BALPAs PR team need to start working on it now
They have plans up their sleeves....

The popular press have picked up on it already. The Express (no I don't buy it) today said "Air travel chaos was looming as BA pilots prepare to walk out over pensions"

We'll see in the coming weeks who has the public sympathy.. the pilots working to the legal UK maximum faced with losing up to 36% of their hard-earned pension, or the fatcat managers on 200% bonuses, or even the shareholders receiving dividends (cash) whilst the company claims it can't afford to pay the shortfall in ... errr.. cash.

I will only briefly mention the large order for 777s, the news of which BA is surpressing so it can continue to claim 'can't afford to fund shortfall'
